Either my tires were very clean or this stuff was dyed water. Same tires using Tuf Shine and it's and dirt everywhere!

Is this based upon one brand tire or all? I had some problems getting even coverage on one specific tire but not other styles of same brand.

I've tried it on my F-150 with Goodyears tires and my MINI with Dunlops.
It hasn't produced a "shine" at all. It dries matte.

It is a matte looking dressing so that may be it.

It definitely is... it looked more glossy in the photos in the online store.
You pm me your address and it's yours.

Just curious as to why you regretted these. I've had 8 months on the wife's Murano so far and the coatings are performing well. What did you regret about them?

Mostly this.
I also tried the wheel coating on brand new wheels that were cleaned and polished with PBL SCP. The wheel wells were all coated with PBL and the spokes with Gtechniq C5. The C5 lasted; the PBL did not.

Okay thanks. So far mine have lasted, but I will be interested to read your thread. I used to use Poor Boy's and that didn't last for me, but so far this seems to be holding up.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Tuf Shine for tires-( too quirky, it's a hit or miss...)
C4 trim restore-- ( after it fades, looks horrible)
Diamondite Paint protection ( yea they actually made some, smelled like kerosene in a bottle, had to chisel it off if dried)
M26-- ( no enhancement of looks for me)
DoDo Juice Orange Crush- ( seemed to like it at first, then it was just too gritty compared to other DoDo's which I love.)
Collinite 845-- ( used to think this was "the"wax, very solvent heavy, tends to leave water spots IME)
CG Jetseal 109-- ( nice look, but sealants at this price should last 3-4 times longer than Jetseal flies)
Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit--( clay crumbles like day old bread)

One of the first products I bought from AG was the Pinnacle Concours Wheel & Tire Kit. I love the Daytona brush, but the Pinnacle wheel cleaner and tire dressing are nothing special, IMO.

Well, the thread appears to be closed. Hopefully it wasn't due to my postings, but I reported what I saw.
As I said in the thread, it could have been entirely my method in application, but I have a considerable dilemma now when it comes to what to do with the rest of my PBL. I do want to give it another test, though.

It wouldn't let me post earlier but now it is. Weird.

recently bought aquapel, there glass cleaner is nice but the window coating is horrible, I coated my wife's brand new car in hopes she wouldn't use her windshield wipers to preserve the glass and well we were using them with the first rain, I should of just used rainx
If it fits your bill, give Optimum Opti-glass a try. It works great and really last the duration of one year. Actually its been 14 months on my DD and still beading
Why the pbl coatings?

So are u suggesting that I try it again using only the Megs APC? I'm not willing to buy the Tuff shine tire cleaner - already wasted to much time, money and effort on their product.
